I know that's coming as a huge shock to all of the OOTP fans, and that people tend to resist change... but FM'06 feels to me like the best game this genre (sports management in general) has ever offered; I'm not convinced that the morphing you describe a bad thing - once the loyal fans get used to the new interface.

Status: offline 		I play FM2006.  I watch the English Premier League constantly.  I absolutely love English football (soccer).  I never (or rarely) watch MLB.  I fall asleep by the second inning, and every night it is either the Yanks or the Red Sox on ESPN.  Same old stuff. (However, we got Clemens!)

OOTP2006 is not the game FM2006 is.  I'm sorry, but that is true.  Again, PS2007 delivers what I want.  IMO, Shaun just needs to work on a few things (Which he always does!).

Finally, I know Markus -- and he will someday have all the bugs fixed in OOTP2006.  However, it just feels like more like "work" to me than fun.  But there is a butt for every seat.  Mine is sitting on PS2007.

Status: offline 		I think I agree with this assesment with one added comment. I think that both of these games are really for two different kind of players and have been for sometime. I think now it is more evident than it was in the past due to the complexity of the recent version of OOTP. I feel Shaun has done an excellent job with Puresim just like he did back when he made utilities for BBPRO. I am actually amazed really that these two games continually get compared to one another. I think in time their will be a greater divide between the two and that will be a good thing IMHO. By the way I like both games. If I had a specific reccommendation though I would recomend Puresim over OOTP.

Status: offline 		there are times when I feel like a good ole dose of a WITP scale BB game so its OOTP 2006, when I'm not in a detail mode and just want to crank out a few games in my All-Star Lg without having to micro manage (but still with plenty of detail) its PS 2007..........as said before there's room for both on hard drives!

I use OOTP 2006 to run my high-detail high-maintenance MLB league with fictional players. I use PS 2007 to run my low-maintenance (sim while I watch TV) fictional Texas league.
